I am curious incredbill if you have ever tried to track back the source of these scrapers. I long suspected porn,loans and gambling and prescription drugs but was very surprised when initial scrapers on a new site came from ip's and useragents related to shopping sites.

Bill Mydlowec. Are you folks really from Google and Stanford? And did they forgot to teach you the basics of user friendliness? I could not read a single word on your website. Black background with some grey scribble on it, so it seemed to met? One, who is rather already skeptical if not downright suspicious of new crawlers would think it was deliberate!

Web page hasn't changed. I can find no list of employees or officers, and the address shows up as the offices of SF Heat, an ad agency. not sure what to make of all that, other than adding them to the list :)
